DX8100 System Recovery Procedure
This DX8100 recovery procedure is used in two ways:
• To recover your DX8100 software using the DX8100 Recovery DVD that is provided with the unit.
• To recover your DX8100 Series DVR in case of a catastrophic failure. In this case, this procedure should only be thought of as a last resort
endeavor. The recovery process erases the entire contents of your DVR’s primary hard disk drive and overwrites the disk with a fresh image
of the system and application software from the DX8100 Recovery procedure.

1. Record the DX8100 network settings.
2. Export the DX8100 settings, to save your camera properties, schedules, and user configurations.
